An Irish male singing ensemble will make a return trip to Sands Bethlehem Event Center -- with an actor from the hit television show "Glee," it was just announced.

Celtic Thunder, which previously played the event center for a PBS television station WLVT-TV Channel 39 fund-raiser in October 2012, will return for a “Very Best of” show at 7:30 p.m. April 3, it was announced.

Tickets, at $60 and $75, will go on sale at 10 a.m. Dec. 19 at the center box office, www.sandseventcenter.com, www.ticketmaster.com or at 800-745-3000.

The show will include actor/singer Damian McGinty, formerly of "Glee," as a guest artist with the Celtic Thunder members Colm Keegan, Keith Harkin, Ryan Kelly, Emmett O’Hanlon and Neil Byrne.

McGinty won the Oxygen channel reality show "The Glee Project," earning him a seven-episode guest-starring role on the Fox-TV show. His role was later extended to 17 episodes

Celtic Thunder, formed in 2007 in Ireland, performs a show of songs sung in solo and ensemble numbers. It has released 11 albums, their first three of which placed in the Top 10 on the World Music chart.
